    uc(): Handle Greek YPOGEGRAMMENI
    
    Unicode contains two context-sensitive case-changing rules.  This patch
    enables one of them, dealing with the Greek YPOGEGRAMMENI.  The code had
    been #ifdef'd out, so the changes here are more than what the diff
    shows.  The reason it was #ifdef'd out was because more research was
    needed to verify that it was correct, which I have now done, and think
    it is.
    
    The issue is we may just be uppercasing a portion of the context, so
    don't have complete knowledge of what should be done.  This patch causes
    us to move the ypogegrammeni to as far right as it should go, or to the
    end of the context we know about, whichever comes first.  That's the
    best we can do.  If it really should be moved further to the right,
    there's no way we can do it, because the user has not called uc()
    with the full information needed.  So, in all cases, this is better than
    just leaving it where it was in the input.  Also, the applicable context
    is limited to a logical character, that matched by /\X/, so if the user
    is calling uc() on a subset of a logical character, it really is their
    mistake.

    t/uni/case.pl: allow extra tests of different form
    
    Add an option to case.pl so that the callers can run extra tests that
    don't fit in with it's format.  They just pass the number run to it, and
    it adjusts the plan accordingly.

    It may not be obvious to a new Perl programmer that $#ary is explained in perldata.pod (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2997042/ ).
    
    A possible solution is to place an entry in perlvar.pod pointing out
    that $# was removed and pointing the user to perldata.pod for the
    explanation of $#ary usage.

            * bugfix: RT #57482 and #57788 revealed that configure_requires
            implicitly assumed build_requires instead of normal requires. (Reported
            by Andrew Whatson and Father Chrysostomos respectively)

            solaris have a broken expect
    
            * testfix: run tests with cache_metadata off to prevent spill over
            effects from previous test runs

    Merge flags and argc parameters to S_tied_handle_method().
    
    This generates slightly smaller object code overall, which means that the "hot"
    code (the non-overloaded paths through the ops) will be smaller, and hence more
    likely to stay in the CPU cache.

    In S_tied_handle_method() default to mortalizing extra arguments.
    
    Convert the gimme argument to a flags argument, and add a flag bit to signal
    that mortalization is not required. Only "BINMODE" needs this.

    For tied file handle calls, use PUSH* when we know that the stack has space.
    
    Previously the code was using XPUSH* in many cases, often to push back values
    recently popped off the stack.

    Remove unecessary EXTEND()s from pp_sys.c
    
    If we've just POP*ed something from the stack, it will already have space.
    If we conditionally POP* something from the stack, avoid the EXTEND() in that
    path. Also, use PUSH() rather than XPUSH() where we know that the stack is large
    enough. Changes to pp_close, pp_binmode, pp_enterwrite, pp_readlink and pp_alarm.

    Fix edge case in pp_eof where the stack extent was not checked.
    
    Analogous to pp_getc and pp_tell in ac3697cd90b00fae, pp_eof has a conditional
    POP from the stack, but an unconditional PUSH to the stack, but no check that
    the stack had space for the PUSH. This bug has been present since perl 5.000.

    Both conditionally POP a GV from the stack, but always PUSH a return value to

    stack had space for the PUSH. This bug has been present since perl 5.000.

    perlbug: always allow change of sender address
    
    The code that guessed a default sender address would under some
    circumstances not display this guess to the user with the option to change
    it. Specifically, if $Config{cf_me} eq {login id of the user running
    perlbug}.
    
    In my case, cf_email got set at build time (Configure default) of
    'davem@pigeon.(none)', which was then silently used. Not good!

    PATCH: Bump Locale-Codes from 3.12 to 3.13
    
      Attached is a patch to upgrade the Locale-Codes distribution (containing
      the core modules Locale::Country, Locale::Language, and
      Locale::Currency) to the most recent version.
    
      ====
      Background:
    
      The core modules Locale::Country, Locale::Language, and Locale::Currency
      (all part of the Locale-Codes distribution) should be updated on a
      regular basis. They contain "codes" from various internet standards
      which change over time.
    
      I plan on releasing new versions twice a year to keep the codes
      up-to-date. At this point, I'm not planning on any significant code
      changes (other than bug fixes), so the only significant changes
      between releases should be to update the codes.

    Change name of ibcmp to foldEQ
    
    As discussed on p5p, ibcmp has different semantics from other cmp
    functions in that it is a binary instead of ternary function.  It is
    less confusing then to have a name that implies true/false.
    
    There are three functions affected: ibcmp, ibcmp_locale and ibcmp_utf8.
    ibcmp is actually equivalent to foldNE, but for the same reason that things
    like 'unless' and 'until' are cautioned against, I changed the functions
    to foldEQ, so that the existing names, like ibcmp_utf8 are defined as
    macros as being the complement of foldEQ.
    
    This patch also changes the one file where turning ibcmp into a macro
    causes problems.  It changes it to use the new name.  It also documents
    for the first time ibcmp, ibcmp_locale and their new names.

    utf8.c: Modify doc comment; change whitespace
    
    This removes the comment about the function name, and converts tabs to
    blanks throughout the function, as so much of it is changing already.
    
    It also removes trailing whitespace in other lines of the file.

    Revamp ibcmp_utf8 for performance and clarity
    
    I had a hard time understanding how this routine worked; there were no
    comments.  In figuring it out, I discovered it could be made more
    efficient.  This routine is called over and over in the innermost loops
    in regex matching, so efficiency is a concern.
    
    Setup is done once before the main while loop so that it now has two
    conditions instead of eight.  The loop was rearranged slightly to be
    smaller and a couple of unneeded assignments to temporaries were
    removed, and recomputation of some values was avoided.  Several other
    small efficiency changes were made.
    
    Several asserts had been commented out, saying that they make tests
    fail.  But they no longer do, at least on my platform.  There was a
    reason that they were asserts to begin with, and that is they denoted an
    insane or trivial condition.  Apparently there have been fixes to the
    other code calling this, so I re-enabled them.
    
    The names of several variables were changed to be less confusing; hence
    f1 means the fold buffer for string 1 whereas it used to mean its goal,
    which is now g1.
    
    The leading indent was changed from 5 to 4 blanks.  I made enough
    other changes that I didn't submit this as a separate commit

    Revert "Re: [perl #51636] segmentation fault with array ties"
    
    This reverts commit 90630e3c741716305d7f1da4df5eab5c1bee42cc.
    
    This fix turns out to be wrong, and also made ($<,$>)=(...) fail
    (RT #75212).
    
    The original problem was a SEGV in av_clear(). This was mis-diagnosed
    as recursive PL_delaymagic issue, and the fix was to temprarily reset
    PL_delaymagic to zero. This stopped the mg_set() of $> and $> being
    delayed.
    
    The real problem was that mg_free wasn't clearing the [GSR]MG flags
    after freeing xmg_magic. This was independently fixed by commit
    68f8932eb570af656553ed44c11a23f0a216a3ec.

    threads::shared: veto signal despatch if locked
    
    This fixes RT #74868: Safe signals changes causing hangs with threads.
    
    The basic issue is that due to changes in where safe signals can be
    despatched, (including now on leaving scope), it's possible for a
    perl-level signal handler to be called while PL_sharedsv_lock is held.
    If the handler does locking or manipulation of shared vars, then deadlock
    can occur.
    
    A robust fix for this is to ensure that the signal handler isn't called
    while we have the lock. This is done using the signal handler hook added
    in the previous commit.

    PATCH: teach diag.t new warning function names
    
    A number of function names that do warnings have been added, but diag.t
    hasn't kept up.
    
    This patch changes it to look for likely function names in embed.fnc, so
    it will automatically keep up in the future.  There's no need to worry
    about it looking for inappropriate functions, as the syntax of messages
    that it looks for is so restrictive, that there won't be false
    positives.  Instead there are still many messages it fails to catch.
    
    As a result of it's falling behind several issues have crept in.  I
    resolved the couple I thought were clear (including one in a comment;
    diag.t doesn't strip comments, but mostly it doesn't matter), and added
    the others to the <DATA> section to ignore.

    In Perl_pad_add_name(), use sv_upgrade() directly rather than new[AH]V().
    
    As newAV() and newHV() are now merely wrappers around sv_upgrade(), and the
    existing SV is always brand new and of type SVt_NULL, call them on it, rather
    than disposing of it as a side effect of storing a(nother new) SV.
    
    Also, no need to set SvPADMY() again, as it is already set.

    PATCH: [perl #75138] "\c`" -> " "
    
    Attached is a patch for some of this issue.  I took Nicholas' advice,
    and if the result of \cX isn't a word character, the output message will
    precede it with a backslash, so the message in the example would be
    
    "\c`" more clearly written simply as "\ " at -e line 1.
    
    I think that message is true.
    
    I also added tests.
    
    There is a test that guarantees that we won't ship 5.14 with things as
    they are now in it.  I added wording to the comments next to that test
    to be sure to verify with this email thread if we should remove the
    deprecation, and mentioned that in the explanatory wording in the pod.
    I support removing the deprecation, but for now I'm not touching that,
    to see what other issues may yet arise before 5.14.

    mktables -- don't create Names table unless asked
    
    This speeds up mktables by not creating the Names table unless asked to,
    by someone adding it to the list of tables to be output.  Perl uses a
    different table than this one for charnames, so the one being suppressed
    isn't generally used.  Previously it was created but not output.  Now,
    we skip the useless creation step.

    Fix priority of suppressed vs. explicitly output
    
    It's not clear this is a real bug, but it is a surprise.  If a table is
    in the suppressed list, it isn't output, even if it is in the
    to-be-output override list.  This latter list is non-empty only if the
    user has hand-edited the the program to force an output.  So this patch
    makes that list have priority.

    Generate simple case folding tables only if asked
    
    Speed up mktables by not generating the simple case folding tables
    unless asked to.  Previously the simple tables were generated, and then
    the full tables were initialized with them, and then overwritten with
    the full mappings.  This is an artifact from the fact that the data
    comes to us in two files, one  with the simple mappings (among other
    things), and another with the full mapping overrides.  Now, the full
    tables are initialized from the first file, and the second file
    overrides the full mappings.  The simple tables are not generated by
    default, so this saves, copying them.

    Use in-line 'no overloading' for speed
    
    An earlier performance enhancement was to change the subroutine that
    gets the address of a ref to using 'no overloading' and then numifying
    the ref, which returns its address.  This patch speeds things up
    slightly by in-lining the "no overloading" so that the function call
    overhead is avoided.
    
    It also gets rid of the kludge that was done before the original
    speed-up that created a local in the call stack of one of the classes so
    that the address would only have to be executed once per call stack;
    This was subject to failure if maintenance of the code perturbed things
    so it didn't work; now the overhead is minimal, so the address is gotten
    in each call.

    Only allocate entries for @_ when the subroutine is first called.
    
    Previously, @_ was allocated for every subroutine at compile time, with a
    default sized AV, hence space for 4 entries. We don't actually need to
    allocate the space for entries, as there is already a check at call time as to
    whether @_ is long enough.
    
    valgrind suggests that this saves allocating 23K (on a 64 bit platform) when
    running pod2man on perlfunc.pod. As well as the absolute saving, there is also
    benefit in deferring allocation for subroutines actually called - for a program
    which forks, @_ is less likely to be in pages shared COW with the parent.
    
    Resolves RT #72416.

    Users can define their own case changing mappings to replace the

    does simplify those tests.

    Add functions to test.pl for easier EBCDIC testing
    
    This patch adds functions native_to_latin1($) and latin1_to_native($) to
    test.pl.  Use of these in test scripts allows for less special case code
    (or deciding to blow it off and just skip EBCDIC platforms).  If a
    string is all ASCII, one has always been able to just use it and not
    worry about EBCDIC.  But non-ASCII, latin1 characters have been a
    different matter.  This allows one to wrap those characters in a
    function call and get automatic EBCDIC compatibility.
    
    The functions do not handle UTF-8/UTF-EBCDIC conversions.  This is more
    complicated, and I was worried that that part was not appropriate for
    test.pl which should use the bare minimum of Perl functionality.  These
    functions use tr///, beyond what other parts of test.pl use.

    Fix CLONE/weakref bug revealed by adf8f095c5881bce.
    
    The AV unreferenced in the clone_params needs to be reference counted, rather
    than not referenced counted, because the fixup to ensure that all otherwise
    0-reference count scalars have a reference (on the temps stack) happens after
    CLONE is run, and CLONE can run Perl code that causes their reference counts
    to increase from then return to zero, which prematurely triggers sv_free().

    add OPpDEREFed flag to avoid double mg_get()
    
        The previous commit made various ops such as rv2av unconditionally do
        an SvGETMAGIC(). Under some circumstances this could cause a double
        mg_get() (and hence double FETCH etc). In particular, when the
        proceeding op was something like aelem with OPpDEREF, the aelem would
        call vivify_ref(), which would call magic. So in peep(), mark
        OP_RV2[SAH]V ops with the new OPpDEREFed flag if the preceding op was
        OPpDEREF. Then use this flag to avoid a second dose of magic.
    
        Note that RV2GV probably needs this flag too, but there weren't any
        spare private flag bits left for that op (I think).

    Replace wrong tr/// table in perlebcdic.pod
    
    perlebcdic.pod contains a helpful table to use in tr/// to convert
    between EBCDIC and Latin1/ASCII.  Unfortunately, the table is the
    inverse of the one it describes, as I discovered in following the
    directions on how it was extracted.
    
    The actual code that uses the table uses it in the inverse way, so it
    actually works correctly, but if you follow the instructions to get the
    tables corresponding to the other recognized code pages, you will get
    the inverse of the ones you wanted, and things won't work out.
    
    This patch changes the table to its inverse, and changes the sample code
    to correspond, as this is easier for the person trying to follow the
    instructions since deriving the old table is somewhat more complicated.
    
    I also changed the table to hex from octal, as that is more the norm
    these days, and I changed to recipes in the pod to print out leading
    zeros to make all the values the same length, as the table that they can
    generate has them.

    Set PADSTALE on all lexicals at the end of sub creation.
    
    The PADSTALEness of lexicals between the 0th and 1st call to a subroutine is now
    consistent with the state between the nth and (n + 1)th call.
    
    This permits a work around in Perl_padlist_dup() to avoid leaking active pad
    data into a new thread, whilst still correctly bodging the external references
    needed by the current ?{} implementation. Fix that, and this can be removed.

    When deleting CLONE_PARAMS, push any unreferenced SVs onto the temps stack.
    
    Effectively this leaves the cloned-into interpreter in a consistent state.
    In the cloned-from interpreter, the SV targets of non-reference owning pointers
    *are* referenced and managed by other pointers. SvREFCNT() == 0 SVs in the
    cloned-into interpreter result from the non-reference owning pointers being
    found and followed, but the reference owning and managing pointers not being
    part of the subsection of interpreter state cloned over. Hence, this change
    creates reference owning pointers to this SVs on the temps stack, which ensures
    that they are correctly cleaned up, and don't "leak" until interpreter
    destruction. (Which might be some time away, in a persistent process.)

    Better ithreads cloning - add all SVs with a 0 refcnt to the temps stack.
    
    Track all SVs created by sv_dup() that have a 0 reference count. If they still
    have a 0 reference count at the end of cloning, assign a reference to each to
    the temps stack. As the temps stack is cleared at thread exit, SVs book keeping
    will be correct and consistent before perl_destruct() makes its check for
    leaked scalars.
    
    Remove special case code for checking each @_ and the parent's temp stack.

    Cleaner implementations for Perl_clone_params_{new,del}

    Abstract *correct* initialisation of CLONE_PARAMS into Perl_clone_params_new().
    
    As it allocates memory dynamically, add Perl_clone_params_del(). This will
    allow CLONE_PARAMS to be expand in future in a source and binary compatible
    fashion.
    
    These implementations of Perl_clone_params_new()/Perl_clone_params_del() jump
    through hoops to remain source and binary compatible, in particular, by not
    assuming that the structure member is present and correctly initialised. Hence
    they should be suitable for inclusion into Devel::PPPort.
    
    Convert threads.xs to use them, resolving RT #73046.

    In addition this patch:
    
      * Adds a new warning when s///r happens in void context.
      * Adds a error when you try to use s///r with !~
      * Makes it so constant strings can be bound to s///r with =~
      * Adds documentation.
      * Adds some tests.
      * Updates various debug code so it knows about the /r flag.
      * Adds some new 'r' words to B::Deparse.

    now reverted), to keep the behaviour of defined %stash:: consistent.

    Remove the tokeniser hack that prevents compile-time vivification of %stash::
    
    This was put in to ensure that defined %stash:: continued to return false after
    the implementation of hashes was changed, such that stashes were always defined.
    defined %stash:: is deprecated.

    commits to reflect the restored (but as yet unreleased) behaviour.
    
    I don't think that this should be merged to blead until after 5.12.0 ships,
    with the enabled deprecation warnings on defined %hash, as it changes subtle
    behaviour that all current released stable perls accept without warning.

    followup to magic/overload fix
    
    6f1401dc2acd2a2b85df22b0a74e5f7e6e0a33aa was over-enthusiastic
    on removing redundant code in the comparison ops. This code was only used
    on 64-bit #ifdef branches which is why I failed to spot it earlier.
    So restore that code!

    make overload respect get magic
    
    In most places, ops checked their args for overload *before* doing
    mg_get(). This meant that, among other issues, tied vars that
    returned overloaded objects wouldn't trigger calling the
    overloaded method.  (Actually, for tied and arrays and hashes, it
    still often would since mg_get gets called beforehand in rvalue
    context).
    
    This patch does the following:
    
    Makes sure get magic is called first.
    
    Moves most of the overload code formerly included by macros at the
    start of each pp function into the separate helper functions
    Perl_try_amagic_bin, Perl_try_amagic_un, S_try_amagic_ftest,
    with 3 new wrapper macros:
    tryAMAGICbin_MG, tryAMAGICun_MG, tryAMAGICftest_MG.
    This made the code 3800 bytes smaller.
    
    Makes sure that FETCH is not called multiple times. Much of this
    bit was helped by some earlier work from Father Chrysostomos.
    
    Added new functions and macros sv_inc_nomg(), sv_dec_nomg(),
    dPOPnv_nomg, dPOPXiirl_ul_nomg, dPOPTOPnnrl_nomg, dPOPTOPiirl_ul_nomg
    dPOPTOPiirl_nomg, SvIV_please_nomg, SvNV_nomg (again, some of
    these were based on Father Chrysostomos's work).
    
    Fixed the list version of the repeat operator (x): it now only
    calls overloaded methods for the scalar version:
        (1,2,$overloaded) x 10
    no longer erroneously calls
        x_method($overloaded,10))
    
    The only thing I haven't checked/fixed yet is overloading the
    iterator operator, <>.

    Previously those where bodies_by_type[sv_type].offset was zero were using

    flexibility to rearrange the structures without generating bugs.
